Soccer: No. 8 Bruins pose
similar challenge as Trojans

defeated No. 21 SMU, No. 15 Texas
A&M, No. 24 Pepperdine and
No. 15 Santa Clara.
“They aren’t entirely dissimilar,”
Steffen said. “UCLA probably isn’t
as direct as USC, so there are going
to be some differences, but the dif
ferences aren’t going to be that
great to us.”
The leading scorers for the Bruins
include sophomore forward Bristyn
Davis (5G, 4A, 38 shots, 21 SOG),
freshman forward Danesha Adams
(6G, 1A, 32 shots, 21 SOG), and sen
ior forward Kim Devine (4G, 1A, 18
shots, 11 SOG).
“Both games are going to depend
a lot on how we bring it,” Steffen
said. “If we play 90 minutes, we’ll
be OK.”

Women's, men's tennis hit
national tournaments
Dieskova, Panova gain doubles win;
Manuel Kost advances in singles play
BY ALEX TAM
FREELANCE REPORTER
The Oregon women’s tennis team opened up its fall pre
season schedule with mixed results at the Riviera/ITA All
American Tournament in Pacific Palisades, Calif., this week.
The top collegiate women tennis players in the coun
try compete in the eight-day tournament, the first of
three national championship events this season.
Oregon sophomore Dominika Dieskova lost her open
ing round matchup to USC’s Nicole Leimbach in two
straight sets, 6-0 and 6-2.
Dieskova, who is ranked the No. 51 singles player in the
nation, recovered after moving into the consolation bracket
by defeating Alabama’s Ashley Bentley in a hard-fought
three-set match, 2-6, 7-5 and 6-3. Bentley was ranked just
ahead of Dieskova as the No. 49 singles player in the nation,
according to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Oregon head coach Nils Schyllander said he was happy
about the effort his second-year player gave after losing her
first match of the season.
“It was a big win for Dominika,” said Schyllander,
who is in his third season as head coach at Oregon. “Any
time you pick up a win against a ranked player, it gives
you confidence.”
On the doubles side, Dieskova and senior Daria Panova
were successful in their opening round matchup against
60th-ranked Marianne Baker and Romana But of Maryland,
8-6. Despite having only played just one career doubles
match together, Dieskova and Panova earned a No. 30 pre
season ranking.
Panova is Oregon’s top returning senior this season af
ter having won three Pacific-10 Conference singles tijles
in her career and earning the No. 12 ranking as a singles
player. She is also one singles victory shy of becoming the
all-time career leader in wins at Oregon, passing Krissy
Barger who had 73 from 1991-94.
Panova is scheduled to compete in the singles main
draw competition as the No. 7 seed this weekend.
Men also see mixed results

consolation match against Alabama’s Ashley Bentley, 2-6,7-5 and 6-3.
All-American Tournament in Chattanooga, Tenn., this week.
Senior Manuel Kost, one of Oregon’s top returning play
ers, won his first round match in the singles main draw
against North Carolina State’s Conor Taylor in straight sets, 6
3 and 6-2. Kost, ranked No. 30 in the nation, will now move
on to the round of 32.
Fellow senior Sven Swinnen, however, had a disap
pointing showing in the tournament. Swinnen, ranked
No. 12 in the nation, lost his first round match to Boise
State’s Luke Shields, 6-2 and 6-1.
Swinnen moved on to the consolation bracket where
he was again defeated in straight sets. Louisiana State’s
Jason Hazley dominated the first set and narrowly won
the second, 6-1 and 7-5.
